Kara Wedding Cake

This is the cake I had this weekend. All Italian meringue buttercream filling and frosting (white cake with strawberry buttercream on top 2 tiers, chocolate amaretto mud cake with amaretto espresso and raspberry buttercream on bottom tier). All of the flowers are gumpaste... and there were a lot of them! I had 6 Sorbonne lilies (Look like stargazer, but deeper in color), 9 lime green cymbidium orchids and 28 cream and deep red roses and lily, orchid and rose leaves in various green shades.

This is awesome work. Can you please share what size pans you used and may I be so bold as to ask how much you charged?

Lucygoosey - I used 7, 11, and 14, but somehow the middle tier came out to be almost 12 inches... which accounts for the spacing differences. My buttercream wedding cakes for for $5.00 a slice and my floral sprays start at $40. These flowers, however were $55 a spray and the the topper was priced at 3 sprays.
